Is it this mob from Port Lincoln.
It seems like the bloke started off with a Ford D series.

Their site said they got their D Series in 1963. I seem to recall the D Series were launched in 1965. Or have I got that wrong?

I’ve seen weirder than that on Ipswich Road. Which reminds me; I saw an Elephant on a low loader in Echuca.

Probably a Beaver. Hippos were 6x4 jobs.

A very apt reg no on the Tetleys Seddon.

Thought with a local to me Middlesbrough registration this looked familiar. Here it is in original livery of Pearsons of Middlesbrough a building and civil engineering company mate of mine drove it for awhile.

Well spotted Sir, By co-incidence, Tetleys Brewery are originally from Leeds,
and the " PUB " registration number plate is also from Leeds.

Cheers, Mines a pint, Ray Smyth.

A French Renault parked up on Martland Park Industrial Estate in Wigan, last Sunday morning, June 10th 2022.
The French driver and I had a brief chat with my very limited French language and his very limited English.
He said that he was on his 11 hours rest period, after which he was going to Birkenhead to catch the overnight
ferry to Belfast to deliver the rest of his fruit & veg load that is in his fridge trailer.

After I had posted this picture and comments, I decided to find out where in France this Renault is from.
It is from the large city of Rennes, not very far from where Fergie 47 resides.
